6.5.4: A competitor shall not use a variable weight pole, a pole which is improperly marked, or a pole rated below his/her weight, or any other equipment that is not legal during warm-up or competition.

6.5.5: Prior to warm-up, the field referee, head field judge, or assigned inspector of implements shall inspect each pole to be used in the competition to verify that the poles are legal equipment, per Rule 7-5-3. This includes checking the placement of a top hand-hold band, numerical pole ratings a minimum of 3⁄4-inches in a contrasting color located within or above the top hand-hold band, and the proper binding of not more than two layers of adhesive tape of uniform thickness. The binding shall not be on or above the top handhold band.

6.5.21: A competitor shall not be allowed to use the pole of another individual without the consent of the owner. The event judge shall approve the use and verify that the pole is rated weight-appropriate. PENALTY: Disqualification from the event.

28 Welcome to Waco

Waco offers enough to keep visitors busy for days! Mountain bike or hike in Cameron Park, shop downtown where you’ll find Magnolia Market, antiques stores, and wonderful local finds. Stroll through our cultural and historic district that extends from Austin Avenue through Elm Avenue, across the mighty Brazos River. Walk across the historic Suspension Bridge, built in 1870, where the clopping hooves of cattle followed the Chisholm and Shawnee Trails up north. We encourage you to explore all that Waco has to offer during your stay for the UIL Regional Championships.
